- Marine,
coastal and inland water surveyingwith depth measurement and position determination
(bathymetry), one of the main tasks of hydrography
- Marine cartography with the descriptive
presentation of the measurement results on printed or electronic
charts on other thematic maps and in manuals
- Environmental
monitoring with
sampling and analysis of the water anddescription of the state
of the water body
- Oceanography, for example the measurement
of tides and temperatures,the modelling of currents
- Hydrology,
qualitative
and quantitative hydrology of inland waters and their
morphology
- Applied geology,
especially
the sampling and analysis of the upper layers of the sea bed
(nature of the sea bed, composition and deposition history of
the various sediments)
- Applied geophysics,for example the monitoring
of offshore structures, for the detection and locating of wrecks
or other metal objects (magnetic methods), for investigations
of the ocean subbottom (seismics, gravimetric methods)
- Setting up of
and maintenance of shipping routes and harbours,
- Coastal engineering
- coast conservation and coastal management,
- Planning of
engineering constructions such as offshore structures
and pipelines on the sea bed,
- Exploitation
of marine resources such as raw material deposits or fishing
grounds
